March 14, 1933. w. L. BLAYNEY SCARF Filed Aug. 26, 1932 I H WOIZLBZ wwwy Patented Mar. 14, 1933 mares STATES WILSON L. BLAYNEY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINGIS, ASSIGNOE T0 Manama. PANY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF ILLINQIS SCAR? Application filed August 26, 1932. Serial Ho. 630,598.

My invention relates to scarfs, and has particular reference to scarfs made by .printmg upon a continuous piece of matenal a series of unit areas, which unit areas constitute the scarfs and may be cut from the continuous piece of material as these scarfs are sold at retail by the merchant.

An object of my invention is the provision of a scarf which is V or chevron-shaped which can be cut from a piece of material on the bias, with the selvage edge of the material forming the ends of the scarf, and which being cut on the bias does not ravel, allowing the merchant to keep the scarf material in good condition for sale. When the patterns are made up they are provided with color combinations to harmonize with a series of color combinations in dresses so that if a purchaser wishes a scarf, the scarf is cut from a piece of material and sold in a clean and merchantable condition.

A further object of my invention is the provision of scarf material in which a scarf of a V or chevron shape is provided as distinguished from a scarf of the usual rectangular or parallelogram shape.

Another and further object of my invention is the provision of scarf material having unit areas of V or chevron shape, thus providing a scarf which conforms to and fits around the neck and shoulders of the wearer in a natural manner, and in which there is no bunching of the material around the neck or across the shoulders as is the case with a rectagular or triangular shaped scarf.

Another and further object of my invention is the provision of scarf material so printed that V or chevron-shaped scarfs may be cut therefrom without waste of material, and also in which the design and pattern of the goods is not distorted but falls naturally over the shoulder of the wearer.

These and other objects of my invention will be more fully and better understood by reference to the accompanying sheet drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a diagrammatic view showing the type of printing apparatus used for printing silks;

Figure 2 is an elevational view of a section of scarf material embodying my invention; and I Figure 3 is a View of a single scarf after it has been detached from the piece of material shown in Figure 2.

Referring now specifically to the drawing, and in which like reference characters refer to like parts throughout, a scarf material 10 is shown passing downward and around a drum 11, and against the surface of which a plurality of rollers 12, 12 is provided, each of these rollers being set in a dye fountain 13 and having appropriate etched portions thereon forming a part of the design to be printed upon the material. A scraper 14 is provided for removing the dye from the unetched surface of the rollers 12, leaving a dye coating on the etched portion of the roller surface. Each roller prints one color and as many rollers are required as there are colors used in a particular design. The goods then passes upward into a steam or setting room, this general process being old in the art and forming no particular part of my present invention.

In Figure 2 the scarf material 10 is shown provided with a series of longitudinally ex tending unit areas 15, 15, these areas extending diagonally across the goods in two directions from the marginal edges inward and meeting at the center of the goods, with selvage edges 16, 16 at each side of the goods. A border 17, 17 is provided which extends along the sides of each unit area 18, and as shown extends along the ends thereof, although this border may be omitted entirely or a continuous border provided at the sides of the goods. The center of the sideborder is indicated by lines 19, 19 forming an indicating position for cutting of the scarf from the piece of material, so that when a scarf is sold it is only necessary for the salesman to shear the material along the lines 19, 19 to properly detach the scarfs from the material 10.

The material from which the scarfs can be printed may be of any desired width so that as the scarf is cut in approximately two directions on an angle of fort :five degrees across the material, the scarf is formed approximately one-third longer than the width new design and configuration is providedr Varying types of ornamental designs, such as shown, can be printed upon the surface of the material so that when completed the scarf is highly ornamented and presents a pleasing and attractive appearance both as to shape and color combination.

From the foregoing description it will be understood that the present invention is a new article of manufacture from which bias unit scarf areas may be cut in two directions from the material, thus producing a scarf of a chevron or V shape, each unit area being provided with border portions as above described, with an indicating line of division between each border portion defining the line of severing of the scarf from the strip of material.

While I have described more or less precisely the details of construction, I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself thereto, as I contemplate changes in form and the proportion of parts and the substitution of equivalents as circumstances may suggest or render expedient without departing from the spirit or scope of my invention.

I claim: 7

1. As a new article of manufacture, scarf goods from which unit V-shaped scarf areas may be out for sale purposes, a continuous piece of scarf material provided with longitudinal selvage edges and having printed upon the material a longitudinal series of V- shaped unit areas with each arm of the V- shaped area extending substantially on the bias of the material from the selvage to the center thereof where the said arms meet to form the apex of the V-shaped unit areas.

2. As a new'article of manufacture, scarf goods from which unit \l-shaped scarf areas may be cut for sale purposes, a continuous piece of scarf material provided with longitudinal selvage edges and having on the ma terial a longitudinal series of V-shaped unit areas with each arm of the V-shaped unit extending substantially on the bias of the material from the selvage to the center thereof where the said arms meet and form the apex of the V-shaped area.

3. As a new article of manufacture, scarf goods from which unit V-shaped scarf areas may be cut for sale purposes, a continuous piece of scarf material provided with longitudinal selvage edges and having produced on the material a longitudinal series of V- shaped unit areas with each arm of the V- shaped area extending substantially on the bias of the material from the selvage edge thereof to substantially the center thereof to form the apex of the V-shaped area. I

4. As a new article of manufacture, scarf goods from which'unit V-shapcd scarf areas neomat having side border portions on each arm in mutual close relation whereby a line of cut is indicated between each of said areas.
